fiandre lifts the curtain on tribute100 ceramic collection composed of recycled fragments

At the crossroads of heritage and avant-garde innovation, Fiandre (Iris Ceramica Group) lifts the curtain on Tribute100 – a collection that revisits a classic and reinvents it with sculptural intent. Tribute100 marks the revival of Serie 100, the brand’s cult 2010 collection that broke new ground by integrating recycled content into ceramic design. More than a retrospective, Tribute100 is a forward-facing homage, reinterpreting eco-consciousness through tactile surfaces and light-responsive geometry. This collection affirms that ceramic surfaces can transcend decoration.

fiandre’s refined choreography of recycled material

Fiandre, under the umbrella of the Iris Ceramica Group, is globally recognized for its pioneering role in high-performance, sustainable porcelain. Collections such as PULSAR and Marmi Maximum reflect this legacy, each transforming raw material into an expressive architectural language. Tribute100 resonates with this same philosophical depth, drawing from its heritage to establish a meaningful material narrative that is both emotive and precise.

Tribute100 takes a different approach—offering a refined choreography of recycled material, structured finishes, and illuminated textures, creating a deliberate and poetic interpretation of light, sustainability, and design history.

Rooted in the original Serie 100, Tribute100 revives the pioneering spirit of recycled ceramics with a renewed sensibility for form and feeling. The collection unfolds through three distinct surface designs—Net, Fold, and Paint—each engaging light and texture in unique ways. Net features a woven aesthetic, reminiscent of fine textiles or metallic grids. Fold offers the softened structure of pleated paper, subtle yet architectural in its rhythm. Paint, by contrast, captures the fluid spontaneity of a brushstroke mid-motion, infusing the surface with energy and a sense of transformation.

These surfaces aren’t passive, they shift and shimmer depending on the environment, making each installation a dynamic experience. They engage with light not just as reflection, but as part of the material’s expression, blurring the line between architecture and art.

The Tribute100 palette is refined and atmospheric, encompassing a spectrum of tones that lend versatility and depth. Pearl is luminous and expansive, casting light across surfaces and opening up the space it inhabits. Shark, a deep, sophisticated grey, fluctuates between solidity and movement, while Mink offers a warm, earthy elegance. Titanium stands at the intersection of warmth and coolness, a balanced neutral that adapts to its context with ease. Each shade is offered across all three textures and comes in modular formats of 120×60, 60×60, and 60×30 cm, supporting recombinable, flexible design strategies that adapt effortlessly to any project scale.

Complementing the tactile designs is a breakthrough in finish: metallic glazes that introduce a soft sheen, elevating the surface without overwhelming its natural form. These metallic accents, paired with subtle 3D reliefs, create a layered effect of matte and gloss, shadow and reflection. The result is a surface that feels alive—one that evolves throughout the day with changing light, offering a sensory experience that’s as visual as it is physical.

Tribute100 stays grounded in cultural memory, yet equally futuristic in its approach, reflecting Fiandre’s dedication to materials that are sustainable in composition and conceptual longevity. The collection proves that sustainability can be quiet, sophisticated, and deeply emotional.

This spirit is fully embodied at FAB, where Tribute100 is displayed for formal architectural settings as well as through playful, sensory installations – like a ‘grab & go’ concept inspired by food retail, where samples are packaged like gourmet items. It’s a tactile, joyful way to engage with materiality, reflecting Fiandre’s vision of ceramics as both a craft and an experience.
